The foreman can, if he is sufficiently informed, 

 lay out the work in his own group so that it will 

 be done in the time required; but the system 

 which he has to deal must be used to secure so 

 many things outside his own work that he must 

 accept it and work with it. 



> difficult to see the value of many of the 

 things which we must do in the government of our 

 little groups, because those things have been ar- 

 ranged to tie together a great many such groups 

 doing different jobs, and they do not always show 

 their value to us in our own work. So we talk 

 frequently about red tape and official documents 

 and formalitv, when, without something of the 

 sort, the groups could not be kept together on the 

 work without great confusion and a lot of waste 

 effort and time. 



System Good and Bad That does not mean 

 that all system is good, just because it is system. 

 Some men have become so interested in creating 

 system and in tying things together that they have 

 bound the whole business up so tight that it cannot 

 move. The regiment must march with its proper 

 scouts and its well-considered system. It must en- 

 ter camp in just a cc ay, in order that it may 



be properly protected and taken care of with the 

 greatest ease; but it would not do to make the ar- 

 rangements so rigid that the men are bound to- 

 gether and could not act at all except in groups.
